It’s not rudimentary, it’s a complex system reduced to a few sentences.
Vegan patties have been around forever.
There aren’t significantly more barriers to entry for food products than other industries.
Yes vendors want high prices, but that applies to any product, not only vegan products.
The answer is, as everyone else has pointed out, economies of scale. There’s a larger market with more participants producing more beef burgers than there are vegan patties.
This is contrary to basic economic principles.
If a beef burger and vegan burger cost the same to make, but people will pay more for the vegan, that world attract more vegan producers to the market, and more competition would reduce the price.
Getting wasted in bars and clubs is not how one finds quality life partners.
Similarly, if no one is into you, that might be because the core of your identity is feeling desperately lonely while getting drunk in bars and clubs.
Land or livestock.
I too am a fan of fall of civilisations!
What does “compensated well” mean in this context though? There was no currency with which to pay. I thought compensation was mostly food, beer, and lodging.
Isn’t all youtube content engineered in that way though?
I think the difference between employee and slave is much less than we might think in today’s terms.
The workers were there by choice, and they were treated well enough to want to be there, but I don’t think most of them were paid a wage.
Sorry mate that’s a pretty thin argument.
Someone might be challenged to reconsider after hearing a joke like that, but many millions will just think that sort of opinion is normal. It’s ok at want political opponents dead.
Meh. I think what you really mean by “lost some respect” is that you’ve realised that JB has a different stance on this to your own.
He is distancing himself from it and its what anyone in his position would do if they care more about money and fame than politics.
This is a post hoc fallacy. As in someone who cares more about money would distance themselves from this, but that doesn’t mean that JB cares more about money. IMO, any self respecting celebrity that doesn’t want western politics to descend into violent adversarial combat would also distance themselves from a comment like that.
kyle was 100% joking.
It doesn’t matter. As I’ve said some jokes are completely inappropriate.
Well I think comedy is obviously not about assassinating politicians I don’t like, and apparently jack black agrees with me.
It’s definitely a me problem, not a you problem, but I do find nips distracting. I’d like to get better at not being distracted by visible nips and I’m here for that journey.
Babet asking for deportation is not the real story - he’s just an idiot making ridiculous statements for attention.
I don’t really buy into the “just a joke” defense. There’s plenty of things one could say “as a joke” that we would and should denounce as a society, and political violence is one of them. Celebrities have a responsibility to uphold social norms or at the very least not to normalise concepts we will not tolerate as a society including political violence.
Yes, you and me can see that what was said was “just a joke” but there’s plenty of people who would hear that joke and assume that wishing Trump would be assassinated is a normal opinion.
[Jack Black][(https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-16/tenacious-d-trump-joke-cancel-australia-tour/104105448) has cancelled the rest of the tour, and not because of Babet’s comments, but more likely because he can’t continue with Gass.
Babet’s comments aren’t the real story though - he’s just a dog whistling idiot trying to get attention.
Jack Black cancelled the rest of the tour, and not because of what Babet said:
Jack Black, one half of the American comedy rock duo Tenacious D, says he no longer feels it is “appropriate” to continue the band’s tour following a controversial joke by his bandmate Kyle Gass at the band’s recent Sydney show.
“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,” Black wrote in a statement posted on Instagram.
Celebrities should not condone political violence. “It was just a joke” doesn’t give you a free pass. There’s plenty of things one could say as a joke which are completely inappropriate and unacceptable.
I don’t think Trump’s death would solve anything.
The only positive outcome is for him to get trashed in the polls in november.,
Do you really think a south East Asian country is going to be the first in the world to roll out UBI?
Don’t admit to owning a house.
Oh yeah. My bad.
What do landlords have to do with this?
It’s a lemmy comment.
